    Is there anyway to permanently stop windows from updating? I tried few methods off YT but updates do not stop.

    (No, don’t recommend me Linux. I have tried it(Mint and Manjaro) and it is way out of my skillset)

      I’m glad to see someone not downvoted for refusing to use Linux on Lemmy. The environment here is getting better for even non-linux users.

      Turn off TPM support in bios to prevent the windows 11 install popups. Win 11 requires TPM.

      Disconnect the PC from the internet.
      It’s also the only way to safely run a computer without updates.

      Yes, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Every day, attackers develop new methods to compromise your system. Those updates fix the vulnerabilities. In this increasingly connected age, those fixes are critical.

      you could always just find the folder windows update lives in and change the permissions so the system can’t access it.
